Steven-| son, was of transcendental importance, try. It is also the most outright statement on the * matter made so far during this political campaign. In the first place, it is convenient to stress th fact that this all important matter is getting the prominence it deserves when planning the foreign) policy of the United States. During his last campaign, Stevenson already showed great interest regarding Interamerican problems, pointing out the need for the United States to strenghthen the bonds of friendship and under-| standing with the twenty Latin American nations. | During this campaign, perhaps influenced by) the experience he gained with his tour around the world after the present republican administration | assumed power, Stevenson has emphatically stressed the vast significance that for the United States has) a positive solidarity with the Latin American} countries. ‘In his political platform, Stevenson has firmly included Interamerican relations, with the purpose) of forming a national and collective consciousness on the great convenience for the United States in promoting friendship with Latin America, a friend- ship he describes in terms of adequate cooperation with those nations which, on the whole, aggregate more than one hundred and seventy million human beings. The purpose to stimulate friendship, funda- mentally with the peoples and not only with the} governments, which always are transitory, was noticeable in his address. For Latin America, Stevenson advocates a more ample policy to the effect that these twenty nations should not be considered as “the family’s poor} relatives”; that they should be given the place they have a right to occupy as the most sincere allies of the United States in the whole world and the most useful to its commercial development, to its security and to its moral and political influence. All along his electoral campaign, Adlai E. Stevenson is conquering the good will of all the electorate of Latin American origin in the United States, of that sector of national life that, with a high sense of responsibility and devotion to the cause of the United States, wishes that this great country of the North of the Hemisphere be the strongest in the world, for the benefit of humanity and democracy, with the decided backing, in all fields of action, from the twenty Latin American nations.

Its well developed industries, its incalculable lumber reserves, its prosperous agriculture and its rich coal deposits, are sour- ces of substantial value not only for the region but for the country in general. On the other hand, its importance as tourist center is an- other factor contributing to the progress of that prosperous pro- vince, The City of Valdivia, capital of | the Province, was founded in 1552 by the Spanish conqueror Pedro de | Valdivia, who had the vision to lo- cate it in an strategic point for the \ struggle against the indomitable Araucanians. In 1820 Lord Thomas Cochrane conquered it definitely | from Spanish dominion. The pros- perity of Valdivia was initiated in the middle of the 19th. century, at the time of the arrival of German colonists, and since then the rhy- | thm of its progress has been unin- terrupted. The city has now more than 35,000 inhabitants, is proud of its modern buildings, as well of al] kinds of up to date public services, and is an active commercial and industrial center. Specially de- | veloped are its beer and shoe fac- tories, and the shipyards. Perhaps there is no other city in the world with so many rivers converging on it and its surrounding territory, They are the rivers Calle-Calle, Valdivia, Cruces, Cau-Cau, An- gachilla, Futa and Tornagaleones, which besides facilitating the ,in- terchange of regional products, are the means of communication for very interesting excursions. | cially those connected to it by the |numerous waterways. Not far from |the commercial center of the city, |and located among the rivers Ca- | Tled Calle, Cau-Cau and Cruces, is the Island of Teja, where there are | very important industrial establish- ments. The island has an area of approximately 13 square kilome- ters, and is crossed by the salt marsh of Coipo, which is navigable by small ships, sail and oar, which | can be hired at the main pier. The island has beautiful evergreen and oak forests, as well as very nice beaches adequate for swimming. North of the island is the lagoon of the park of the Agricultural So- ciety of Valdivia, in which thou- sands of water-lillies can be seen floating. This park, where the so- ciety carries on its yearly exhibi- | tions, is visited by thousands of | tourists. Other places, as attractive, | are located along the shores of the | Valdivia River, including Toro Ba-| yo ,Niebla, Corral and Amargos, the last two sea resorts; and An- gachilla, on the shores of the river of the same name, which is a tri- butary of the Valdivia, Further on along the Valdivia, to the south- west, is the great Island of the King which is full of fruit groves and forests. There is a good hotel, the Santa Lucia, which has all the modern conveniences and a good beach for swimming, The trip to this picturesque island is made in small steam boats, and is very in- teresting all along the way. Also of great beauty and great interest to the tourist are the small villages of Collico, Chumpullo and Santa Elvira, east of the city, and along the Calle-Calle river, Coyin- hue, Paico and Patabla, to the north, and the picturesque village of Futa is located on the shore of the river of the same name, which | runs through canyons formed by high and wooden hills.

Eastern Vice President M. M. Frost said that the proposed new routes would save Puerto Rican travelers from 80 to 265 extra miles. The result wovld be lower fares and less time in the air, he said.

And if the purpose of such a par- ty would be to take part in the par- tial . elections, convoked by the Government, the answer is no.

It was the continuation of the Good Neighbor Policy es- tablished by Franklin D. Roosevelt. “These men of practical vision saw the American Hemisphere as a great laboratory in which policies and relations worthy of the 20th century could be perfected. With a good start here, they could be extended to other parts of the world. “Nobody can say, for sure, that this realization has been complet- ed. The task is still far from ac- complished. And yet, it seems to me that during the last four years we have fallen back rather than ad- vance.” Referring to commercial rela- tions in this hemisphere, the De- mocratie candidate said: “One half of our international trade develops within ghe Western Hemisphere, with Canada and Latin America trade mainly with us. We depend on them; they depend on us; our economies are interdepend- ent. For the businessman search- ing for new markets and new sour- ces of raw materials, each year that goes by the old national frontiers have less significance.” Stevenson spoke at a great gathering at the Bayfront Park Auditorium Tuesday, which was attended by many Democratic Par- ty notables, including Senators George Smathers and Spessard Yolland, Representative Dante Fas- #11, and many others, all of which expressed great satisfaction about the unity achieved within the par- ty, and gave assurances that the Democratic ticket ‘will recapture the State of Florida in the Novem- ber elections.

Stevenson said in a speech in Miami, last night that “in Latin America especially,” this country’s foreign policies sometimes have “placated America’s enemies and advanced’ their intrigues. . .” He cited Perén as a “dismal ex- ample” and said a member of Pre- sident Eisenhower’s “personal fam- ily assumed special, if informal, re- sponsibility for our relationships with Argentina.” The family mem- ber was later identified as Mil- ton Eisenhower. Dulles said he would comment because he said the matter related to factual aspects of United States foreign policy. He said Dr. Eisenhower’s rela- tions with Latin America had been highly constructive and he never interfered with State Department operations. As for charges the Eisenhower administration appeased Perén, Du- Iles made these points: 1, The Perén government in Ar- gentine came into power under a preceding administration. It went out under the Eisenhower adminis- tration. 2. Perén got loans totaling more than 100 million under the preced- ing administration, It got none under the Eisenhower administra- tion. 3.
